Discussion

It seems to me that this is one situation where there was virtually no
difference between the INT responses and the Brown responses.
Almost every response was "go and talk/discuss" with the professor.
One or two responses on each list was "look over exam first" but that
was a tiny minority of the total responses.
Perhaps the reactions of students to their grades are more universal
and not cultural?

French students, what would you say when you went to talk to a professor
about an exam? How would you approach the professor? What are your
interactions with professors usually like? (Are they very formal or do
you ever have informal conversations with them?)
